News Service) NEW YORK — Venezuela, af ter the revolution, needs a strong labor movement, more progressive labor legislation, and a stronger, more rational, economy, a Chris tian political leader said here. Dr. Raphael Caldera, head of Venezuela’s Christian Democratic (Copei) party and currently a political exile in the United States, expressed this hope for his nation’s future as he prepared to return to his homeland after the fall of President Marcos Perz Jimenez. Venezuela, he said, is now ripe for democratic govei'nment. “The rich should be less rich, the poor less poor,” he said during an interview in his Manhattan ho tel suite, which buzzed with the din of Latin American well-wish ers, reporters and the incessant ringing of phones.. The 42-year-old professor of labor law at Venezuela’s National University in Caracas, said he hopes that all political leaders will put aside their selfish in terests and save their nation the anguish of a heated political cam paign. “There should be a provisional government,” he continued, “until such time as the people can elect a new parliament.” Dr. Caldera said that he was bent on backing any political agreement which would lead to a national union. His statements were read to two other exiled Venezuelan po- East Point Ford Co. * • * 1230 N. MAIN PL. *-21*1 EAST POINT, GA. MARY LEONE McNEFF, D. O. OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN Buckliead Theatre Bldg.

Rightist Jovito Villal- ba, head of the Democratic Re publican Union, and leftist Rom- ulo Betancourt, head of the Dem ocratic Action party, both agreed with Dr. Caldera’s ideas. Jesuit-educated Dr. Caldera ar rived in New York on January 19 after spending four months in a Caracas prison and several weeks in asylum at the home of Arch bishop Raffaele Forni, Apostolic Nuncio to Venezuela. The mild-tanned young lawyer and university professor is one of Venezuela’s most popular politi cal figures. As such, he was con sidered the leader of the opposi tion to the recent dictatorial re gime of President Perez Jimenz. So popular was Dr. Caldera that President Perez Jimenez con sidered him a constant threat to his power and had him imprison ed last August. But Dr. Caldera’s story really begins in 1947. In that year, Venezuela was preparing for its first free elec tions. Then, as now, Dr. Caldera was head of the Copei party, com posed mostly of business and con servative interests, but motivated by Christian social principles. The young professor was the leading contender for the presi dency against novelist Romulo Gallegos, the popular Democratic Action party’s candidate. Mr. Gal legos won the election by a sur prisingly wide margin, which Dr. Caldera attributes to the Marxism and anti-Catholicism that moti vated, that" party. The Christian Democrat said he was satisfied that it had been an orderly elec tion. Within months, however, the new democratic government was felled by a coup d’etat of a mili tary junta headed by Col. Perez Jimenz. The junta ruled the na tion until 1952 when an election, in which Col. Perez Jimenez was overwhelmingly rejected, was rigged to give the presidency to the dictator anyway. An entirely new, .hand-picked government was established and promises were made that there would. be a new, constitution out lining electoral rules and guaran teeing civil liberties.. “Five years was not enough time for them to pass any of these laws,” was Dr. Caldera’s ironic evaluation of the dictatorial re gime. Early in 1957, the government, plagued by social unrest and po litical dissatisfaction, promised a plebiscite in which the people would be allowed to vote “yes” or “no” on whether the dictator ship should be continued. Dr. Caldera was one of the few major opposition political leaders in tlie nation and was considered the likeliest candidate of the united parties on a write-in tick et. However, on August 2, he was arrested while shopping in Ca racas and confined in the Seguri- dad Nacional, headquarters of the secret police. “During the entire four-months of my confinement,” he complain ed, “I was not allowed to see my family or political associates.” Some observers said that Dr. Caldera’s close association with the Catholic hierarchy was the reason for his arrest. It was said that the regime feared the Church would throw its support to the Christian Democrats. Dr. Caldera disagrees with this interpretation. “No party in Ven ezuela wants to see. the Church actively engaged in politics. “The Church fulfills its mission when it supports Christian social principles as outlined in the papal encyclicals.” He did feel, however, that the Venezuelan Hierarchy’s support of these principles was rightly in terpreted as a severe criticism of the Perez Jimenez government. The real reason behind his ar rest, Dr. Caldera belives, was his defiance of the regime’s ban against political activity and pro paganda. “The last meeting of the Chris- Dictator Out gVENEZUELA* tian Democratic party,” he ex plained, “was a private gathering in January, 1954. One of our stu dent members, Hilarion Cordoza, made an emotional speech against the govei'nment. “Despite the fact that the meet ing was private, Mr. Cordoza was arrested and sent to prison.” In November, fearful of being overwhelmingly rejected, ousted President Perez Jimenez canceled the plebiscite set for mid-Decem ber. Immediately there began a roundup of political leaders and students. Of the nine top Chris tian Democrat executives, six ended up under arrest, two in ex ile, and one in hiding. On last Christmas Eve, Dr. Caldera was told he would be re leased from prison, but that he would have to leave the country immediately. Before he could depart, how ever, the Venezuelan Air Force revolt broke out on January 1. Dr. Caldera’s home was searched, but he was not there when the secret police arrived. The next day, January, 2, he sought asylum with the Apostolic Nuncio. The government insist ed that he leave the country and “the Nuncio was forced to com ply,” Dr. Caldera explained. “I am most grateful to him and the Holy See for their paternal care for me during my stay. When it was time to leave, Archbishop Forni escorted me to the plane. No one was permittted to talk to ,me. I had to. leave behind my wife, six children, and my mo ther.” . As to the future,' Dr. Caldera said Venezuelan leaders must stop trynig to buy the Church’s support with rich adornments and beautiful new chapels. “They must learn that, the Church wants support of its social principles, not merely financial aid,” he added. Although he said he is satisfied with the role the Venezuelan army has played in the recent up rising, he hoped that army lead ers would return to their profes sion and leave politics to the politicians. The popular politician said he has optimistic hopes for the na tion after witnessing the display of civic determination on the part of the Caracas crowds in the re cent revolt. v i en>ziL P! !■! South America’s northern most country, Venezuela, has seen the fall of the dictatorship of Perez Jiminez; a political development which will be of real benefit to the Church, ac cording to Archbishop Rafael Arias Blanco, of Caracas. Meas uring approximately 352,000 square miles, about the size of Texas and Minnesota combined, Venezuela is almost 95% Cath olic in a population of almost six million.

Stamp Honors Foundress Of Charity Nuns , DUBLIN, Ireland, (NC) — For the first time in the nine years that the Republic of Ireland has been issuing postage stamps, a woman will be honored by a special stamp. A picture of Mother Mary Aik- enhead, foundress of the Irish Sisters of Charity, will appear on a special stamp to be issued this year in commemoration of the centenary of her death. A convert to the Faith, Mother Aikenhead established her order during a period when economic conditions in Ireland were appal ling. From 1831 to 1858, Mother Aikenhead was in ill health and carried out her administrative duties from an invalid’s chair. A decree for the introduction of her beatification cause was signed in 1921 by Pope Benedict XV. Her (grave at St. Mary’s Convent, Donnybrook, Dublin, has been a popular pilgrimage site.

There’s another group of women, however, even further removed from the spotlight who deserve a woman of the year com mendation, too. They Eire the nuns, the dedicated women, who Serve God in his far flung family across ,tiie face of the earth. Their family is as large as humanity; They, too, serve around the clock in hospital watches, in dreary classroom recitations, in homes for the aged, and orphanages, in vigils and in fastings and prayers. They serve as college presidents and convent! cooks; they work in laboratories and mix baby formula; they sew, they write, they teach, they paint, they study. But mostly, 'thank God, they pray for 'you and for me and all the other sinners like us who need the prayers and example of these dedicated women who give up all the things a crazy mixed up world deems important and vital to happiness . . . they give it all up for the love of God. It is a very happy thought that somewhere in this materialistic selfish world filled with people intent on doing what they want, when they want and how they want there is such a thing as a nun—unselfish, pure, obedient. * * * * * OUR BLESSED MOTHER, of course, is the woman of every year. She has and will continue to outshine all other women who hold the world’s spotlight for a brief now and here. The actresses, stateswomen, business women, geniuses, authors^—all the women who have made their mark on the world — fade all too soon from sight and memory. Not so Our Lady. She remains as fresh and as meaningful and important in the lives of the living today as she did hundreds of years ago. Although she lived 2,000 years ago, her impact is no less today. She did none of the things the world would deem necessary for their woman of' the year choice. She discovei-ed no vaccine, ruled no land, wrote no books. She was a mother and like the nuns was a consecrated virgin. She was the Mother of Christ, the Savior of the world. By that token she will be known throughout eternity as no other woman will be. This year of 1958 is her year in a particular way. It is the anniversary of her apparition at Lourdes to little Bernadette. The Holy Father asked that this year be a time of “Christian renewal as we inten sify our efforts to bring a sense of spiritual values to a world steeped in materialism.” This can be our year in a very particular way, too, as we strain to imitate more closely Mary who is the woman of the year! “Back To God” Movement Grows CINCINNATI, (NC) — The American Legion’s “Back to God” movement is gaining momentum, Msgr. Robert J. Sherry, Ohio state chaplain of the Legion, declared here. He cited growing nationwide interest in the project, reflected in network television programs, billboard campaigns, and local le gion post programs. Special events to promote the movement are scheduled by most legion units on the first week end of February, Msgr. Sherry said. Declaring that “God and His Church are America’s first line of defense,” legion officials have described the “Back to God” movement as “a continuing pro gram sponsored by the American Legion in the belief that our country will be strong if our peo ple will return to the religious principles upon which our nation was founded.” The movement recommends in dividual daily prayer to God, daily family Bible reading, re ligious training of children, and weekly public worship of God. In a statement issued recently, the legion said: “The ‘Back to God’ movement is essential to basic Americanism . . . Our founding fathers derived our fun damental rights from God. Americans must never forget God,‘ the source of their fights. Religion, which binds man to God, holds a Vital place in Ameri can life.” THE BULLETIN, February 8, 1958—PAGE FIVE Atlanta Services For R. F.
